The comparison between HVO and FAME biodiesel is like a heavyweight boxing match in the world of sustainable fuels. In one corner, we have HVO (Hydro Vegetable Oil), the clean-cut champion of sustainability, boasting lower emissions and compatibility with all diesel engines. In the other corner, we have FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) biodiesel – a more traditional contender with its own set of merits but also some significant drawbacks such as susceptibility to cold weather. When it comes to choosing between these two titans for your fuel needs, remember this: HVO may be pricier than FAME biodiesel but offers superior performance and environmental benefits.

DERV fuel, short for Diesel Engine Road Vehicle, is the fuel of choice for diesel engine road vehicles, fleets, and equipment. In this guide, our fuel experts provide a detailed overview of this fuel.

White diesel (DERV) is a fuel that is used to power on-road vehicles – it stands for Diesel Engine Road vehicle, but is also known as road diesel and white diesel, among other names. DERV, also known as white diesel, is a favourite choice across many industries with 27.7bn litres of diesel sold in 2022 alone. That is due to being able to carry out some of the world’s most demanding work allowing to save more CO2 making it environmentally friendly. While DERV is widely used, there are uncertainties about its tax and price. Compass Fuel Oil, a top bulk DERV supplier with nearly 60 years combined experience delivering millions of litres of DERV to UK businesses annually, is well-equipped to address these concerns and more.

HVO also known as Renewable Diesel, is fossil-free paraffinic diesel fuel that can be used as a direct replacement for mineral diesel with up to 90% lower net CO2 emissions. Our HVO is derived from 100% certified waste materials and is produced from traceable feedstocks. The product is manufactuered by suppliers who are approved and regulated by the ZEMO Partnership program, who operate the Renewable Fuels Assurance Scheme (RFAS) meaning the GHG emission savings data is both tracable and credible. Compass Fuels has invested in new depot infrastructure to allow us to offer the same excellent service that our customers are used to, including emergency same-day and next-day deliveries.
